Verge gardens are a buffer between private properties and the stormwater system so we should avoid mulch and excess nutrients being washed down with the stormwater. That's why I prefer native plants and use a layer of groundcovers as living mulch. We also want to avoid spreading weedy exotics by rainwater, wind or dogs.
